Way back in the day when Sims 2 was out, I made Afra Lyon, Damia Gwyn-Raven, and their gigantic brood of children. And I posted pictures.

I didn't do it for Sims 3 because I couldn't stand how the sims looked.

But, Sims 4 is out now. And, yes, I am putting together a Raven-Lyon family and taking pictures. (Afra's "flirty" expression is hilarious, I'll have you know!)

So, let me leave you with this image: Afra Lyon, for some completely inexplicable reason, striking a rather manly pose on a bench next to his adopted son. (Who I named Piemur. Who is totally living up to his name with that suspicious glance he's giving Afra.)

I know Afra's skin is WAYYYY too green, but they only give me one shade of green to work with this early in the release. He's also unusually buff because I have him in the Astronaut career track and the sims will change from skinny to muscular if they're working out a lot, and he has to work out to progress as an astronaut. So he's put on some muscle mass since I made him. (Damia, after being put through 3 pregnancies in a row, poor woman, gained a bit of weight on the other hand.)

I let Damia and Afra have their first 3 kids "naturally". They all happened to be female, so I had to skip over the boy names. They also don't match up with the descriptions in the books; one of the things that tickles me with the sims is how the "genetics" make the offspring look like a mix of the parents, so I like to just let it happen as it happens.

Here's a better picture of Damia, dressed:

Here's Laria, 'pathing her mom. You can see she ended up with Afra's coloring, but her mom's blue eyes:

Here's Zara. She's the only one I changed the hairstyle on...it was really, terrifically bad before. I made it short mostly because I imagine Zara with short, white hair.

And here's Kaltia, who should really look like Laria does, but that's not how the genetics played out.

I really like how it's clear they're sisters...you can definitely see Afra's appearance altering their facial structure even when they have Damia's coloring.
